You are right Diddles - there are some lovely quilts happening here - and some wonderful variations to suit the individual makers.
I'm glad that this quilt has got you into needle-turn - a new skill for you.

Yes, its a perfect weekend to sew here in Melbourne - rainy, cold and dreary. Have just finished some cooking and break making, having a coffee and catching up on all the beautiful work and then back to my blocks hopefully for an hour or so. Happy stitching all.
